"Amber Rudd clearly doesn’t spend a lot of time around black and ethnic minority people. It exposes her as a white ghetto person, that’s all.

And what about Karen Bradley’s apology?

“Resign. It’s over for Bradley, and I think she probabaly will have to, she’s handled the brief appallingly, she’s been a complete SNAFU for the Tories, and they should put her out now. I mean it’s shameful.”

Francois: “I don’t think she should have to resign.”

Self: “She came into the brief saying she didn’t know Nationalists don’t vote for Unionists and Uninists don’t vote for Nationalists. I mean really, that’s a level of staggering ignorance. She shouldn’t even be sitting in parliament with that level of ignorance.”

Francois starts making a joke about Bradley’s ignorance and launches into his Chelsea pensioners waffle.

But even that comment by Bradley is beyond ignorant in itself. If she is going to approach her job with the idea that such a simplistic statement… well it’s no surprise things have turned out as they did. Ivan Cooper was a Protestant who believed in Catholic human rights and received overwhelming support from the Catholic population.

By the way, how come that arse faced weasel Sammy Wilson hasn’t been asked to apologise seeing as he nodded in agreement with her poisonous comments?

The Tories and the US Republicans are both so appalling, that it’s almost taken as read that they will always be like that.

But that’s almost their strategy - to be so consistently appalling, so shameless and so impervious to criticism, that any criticism or scandal is futile and people just zone out and enough people develop Stockholm syndrome to elect them.

Being bigoted, hateful, intransigent and stupid is the DUP’s brand, the same as it’s the brand of the Tories and US Republicans. It is their USP, their main selling point to those who vote for them. It’s exactly why people vote for them.

Protestant does not equal Unionist and Catholic does not equal Nationalist.

A majority of Protestants are Unionist and a majority of Catholics are Nationalist, but that isn’t the same thing.

Nevetheless there are occasional tactical voting patterns (due to first past the post) where some Nationalists might vote for a Unionist and vice versa.

Sylvia Hermon likely benefits from this as she’s seen by most Nationalists as pretty reasonable, and certianly far preferable to the DUP.

Joe Hendron got in ahead of Gerry Adams in West Belfast in 1992 due to this as well.

Whether he has been consistent in his cuntish views is beside the point - the complete double standards of requiring the apology of one politician and not another over making the same point is ridiculous.
